Updated Chinese Version of IFLA LRM Published in December 2025

The updated Chinese version of the IFLA LRM (Library Reference Model) was published at the IFLA repository: https://repository.ifla.org/handle/20.500.14598/42.2

As the consolidation of FRBR, FRAD and FRSAD, separate conceptual models respectively for bibliographic records, authority data and subject authority data, the IFLA LRM was published in August 2017, and the corresponding Chinese version was published in May 2020.

Later, the updated version, as amended and corrected through December 2021 by the Bibliographic Conceptual Models Review Group, was issued in July 2024.

Last year, Pat Riva remind me to do the updating of the document. When doing the updating, I also found some typos, mistakes and typesetting problems. So I spent a month to revise the document.

I am glad to see that it was finally published. I am also glad to see that my name appears in the document as a member of the FRBR Review Group.
